Editor's note
=============
Since we launched the first TrainingZONE advice page in October
last year, more than 15,000 TrainingZONE users have logged in to
find out more about becoming a trainer, going freelance and a
host of other useful topics. This week, we're adding a total of
three more topics to help you manage your cashflow, get the most
from your client list and carry out a Training Needs Analysis.
If there are any burning questions you think we should cover in
an advice page, do let us know.

p.s. How balanced is your home and work life? General Physics
need to know, and they're offering the chance to win a voucher
for an unforgettable day out if you tell them! Find out more
below.
